The Aggies landed its first commitment in the 2018 class when Fort Bend Elkins offensive lineman Luke Matthews pulled the trigger on Tuesday evening.

"I just called Coach (Kevin) Sumlin and committed," Matthews told 247Sports. "I just knew it was where I wanted to go. I also liked that they hired coach (Jim) Turner to coach the o-line. He coached my brother and he's a good coach."

Luke is the younger brother of former Texas A&M linemen Jake and Kevin Matthews and son of NFL Hall of Famer Bruce Matthews.

At 6-foot-4, 310 pounds, Matthews is ranked as the No. 9 offensive tackle in the country and No. 4 overall prospect in the state in the 2018 class, according to 247Sports.

The four-star prospect committed to Texas A&M over an offer from Purdue.
